Greenatik's Vertical Cab

[phatsesh101]

in socal i know a bunch of growers, and it was always nice to trade cuts and see the different phenotypic expressions brought out by each growers environment on the same cut. my mk was almost unrecognizable when a friend grew it mine was fluffy and purple ish his was dense and light green, cut came from me. mine smelled grapey his not much odor. taste similar and high were the same. just interesting thats all.

Greenatik, despite your hermie issues, your plants look really outstanding! And, every time I read about co-ops, collectives, dispensaries, trade shows, etc., I can't help but be a bit jealous. You dudes out in Cali have it really good! It's always interesting to hear about the latest strain craze out there. Keep pushing the envelope, amigo!

thanks jake! surprisingly enough I have barely taken advantage of all that's around me. i've only been to a dispensary maybe 6 or so times - to get clones and a super dank eighth for a day trip or something. I've got to check out some of the stuff around me soon though :jointsmile:

yupp, nutes, medium, light, everything can be a factor to the final product and how it looks/smells/smokes

well! down comes lavender!! yield seems really good. nice semi-dense buds for a strain that produced the fluffiest buds ever last round! I already cut down one large cola (not pictured) like 4 days ago and just jarred it. overall i'd say this is the best plant i've grown to date :jointsmile:

[greenatik]

55+ if I remember correctly. after 50 days or so it starts to tinge purple

In this tiny space, is your vertical set-up more conducive to growth then an overhead set-up? I am aware of the benefits of going vertical but i have never seen it in a small space.
I am working on a cab (4T x 4L x 3.5w) and have a Fresca sol 600 w water jacket cooled light going in there. Have you ever thought of using the water cooled lights on a vertical grow?

I've always been intimidated by water cooled lights......I hate fire if something were to magically go wrong...Then again, I don't claim to know a lot about water cooled lights. Some detailed info would be sweet. Maybe that would suppress my fear of that technology.

That should answer those Q's

Also

Fresca Sol Water Cooled Light

I have went with the Fresca Sol. The makers have perfected these lights and would not make them available for consumers unless they were safe. No heat, no fans (no noise) better CO2 use, and can be put 5 inches from the plants.

eh, if you already have it then go for it. i've read that they work well. but if i were to put a 600 in my box I would just run the cooltube with separate ventilation. I can touch my cooltube and its warm to the touch nowhere near hot. I have my plants within 5 inches as well.

And as far as vertical being conducive to growth.. overall, probably not because theres a lot of lumens / sq foot in such a small area. but what vertical IS going to do is get you tighter nodes and reduce stretch = bigger buds.

all I know is that I am smashing my previous yields :rasta:

oh, and thanks for the rep saucee!!

No doubt that they are cool to the touch. I was thinking that the water jackets would reduce energy and noise taking away the fan. Using CO2 and Gravity?
